Introduction:
Em7 C
I've got a love, glistens in the moonlight
G D Em7
East side of the city where it's a little less bright
C
And I don't usually fall hard but this time
G D Em7
I'm burning up like bare feet on concrete in the summertime
C G
When it was our time. We go hand in hand
D Em7
And fell asleep with the stars and the waves on the sand
C G
Felt like another land, that I would never understand
D
Getting dizzy in my head
Em7 C
But it came to a halt, within a minute or two, when
G D Em7
Your time was up, your motherland, she was calling for you
C
You packed up your bags, tied up your shoes
G D
Locked pinkies together and said, I'll see you soon
Em7 C G D
I know that you want to go high, and so do I
Em7 C G D
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
Em7 C G D
You said that you want to go far and so will I
Em7 C G D
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
Em7 C
It's good to leave, to love a little more
G D
She's been skipping my breath, she doesn't even know it yet
Em7 C
And how many times can I say that I miss you?
G D
Not really something that I want to get used to but
Em7 C G
I've been thinking about the days to come, we'll lay in the sun
D
Waking up late for the coffee run and
Em7 C G
A couple words that are sitting on the tip of my tongue
D
I'm breathing easy but I'm getting kind of heavy in my lungs
Em7 C G D
I know that you want to go high, and so do I
Em7 C G D
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
Em7 C G D
You said that you want to go far and so will I
Em7 C G D
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
Em7 C
And now we're here, sitting on your bedroom floor
G D Em7
I feel like I'm high, somewhere on the eighteenth floor
C
Was that a metaphor? I'm not really sure
G D
But all I know is that it's you Honey that I adore and
Em7 C G D
Right hands got a ticket to fly over the Pacific and you wouldn't want to miss it
Em7 C
Because I'll miss your coastal kisses when I'm feeling low Somewhere back at home
G D Em7
I'll sneak some of your love in checked baggage below
C
And I don't really know, how long it's gonna take
G D Em7
For this world of ours to clean up its mistakes
C
But we'll sit and wait, yeah we'll sit and wait
G D
Cause on the horizon, I can see the better days
Em7 C G D
Yeah
Em7 C G D
I know that you want to go high, and so do I
Em7 C G D
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
Em7 C G D
You said that you want to go far and so will I
Em7 C G D
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
Em7 C G D
